When I saw it parked up later, I couldn't believe how little damage was done relative to the amount of smoke we saw from the pit area.

Feel gutted for the bloke, like DocJock says amazed at how little(relatively) damage was done compared to the smoke. Did wonder if he was alright as it was right behind the drivers head looking at the damage. Speaking to the petrol pump bloke it seems he is, which is good.

F40's are my favourite car ever, thats not the first i know to go up in flames though. Looking at the pics it does look like a fuel spilage problem with the way the soot has formed down the outside of the car below the filler.
The 5 years life on the tanks is based on the FIA certification for Bag tanks in motorsport, they are made to similar standards as Aircraft fuel tanks and can be recertified after inspection. It sounds like the filler mechanism is tired rather than a tank problem.
If i remember correctly, a new rear screen for an F40 is £12K.
